00:01:27.580 our program international news it's crazy how the stuff we see with trump then becomes very predictive

00:01:35.100 of what comes next and bolsonaro seems to be going through a lot of uh what trump went through

00:01:40.020 but we were just talking as we were as we were heading in here about hunting and you uh were inviting

00:01:44.460 me on a hunting trip and we were talking about what style of hunting is like the manly style that

00:02:37.520 things heads off so i didn't know if i could use like a 308 or a lever action 30 30 or my seven

00:02:42.780 millimeter or my ar or my ak or my i shouldn't stop talking an ak would yeah right you're by the

00:02:49.860 way this podcast is now already on an atf watch list but wait we know who's heading up the atf

00:02:55.140 matt so we're safe yes his name's cash padel we love him we love him so uh we also have one of our

00:03:02.080 terrific colleagues here colleagues here pearson sharp and pearson i i've been such a fan of yours even

00:03:07.460 before i joined the network because of your investigative reporting oh stop you are all

00:03:11.420 over this stuff and you talk about gun nuts now you yeah pearson pearson is interesting because

00:03:17.960 a lot of these censorship uh entities seem to be your most committed viewers i mean you cannot do an

00:03:24.880 episode without the hall monitors of the internet uh giving you detention and uh it must be a badge of

00:03:32.440 honor i think i've got more hate viewing than uh pleasure viewing honestly hey i love the hate

00:03:37.740 viewers i'll take the hate view i'm sorry you guys talk about hate viewing i'm just thinking about

00:03:41.260 revenge porn and hate porn i'm like wait a minute what are we talking about here we're talking about

00:03:44.620 news reports you just talk about what you know so that's okay no uh the the hate viewers i think

00:03:51.060 he gets more than i do here i think he does surprising is it a competition matt you've only been on board

00:03:56.300 six weeks i think we should compare he's been here how many years 11 years 11 okay so since the

00:04:02.160 network started i'm going on five you're going on like five or six weeks who gets more hate mail

00:04:07.200 at oan from crazy wacky leftos you me or pearson we're going to start studying this i didn't even

00:04:12.380 know we had email so that's terrific hey he has people he has people to take care of his email

00:04:18.380 uh don't email so boomer so pearson the reason i wanted you on the show is because i am concerned

00:04:24.200 that you might have been converted into an agent of the chinese communist party and dan does not know

00:04:29.060 the full backstory here but as i understand it as a as a member of the media the chinese embassy

00:04:35.040 reached out to you and wanted to have a conversation with you is that right what yes yeah imagine my

00:04:41.020 surprise so so give us we we we are details people and we dan and i are not up against a clock here

00:04:47.040 and so i just want to know like how would you describe the outreach from the chinese embassy

00:04:52.220 to know what the great pearson sharp is thinking i'm actually i would love to know why they picked

00:04:58.200 me uh because i am probably the most anti-china anti- chinese person out there i lived there for

00:05:04.220 a year and it was probably the worst year of my life the culture shock was just horrendous and to be

00:05:10.440 clear like i was a teacher i was teaching this little town of four million people called shu chang

00:05:15.780 and uh the students that i had were lovely people like they were nice but the culture was just

00:05:23.260 completely alien completely foreign and i have not been shy about making that a recurring subject on

00:05:31.900 videos that i make or uh my blog that i write on that's something i i definitely want people to know

00:05:38.400 is how awful that country is yeah by the way let me let me help protect you he's saying the country

00:05:44.300 the ccp not the people right so it's kind of like when you say the chinese flu we're not talking

00:05:49.880 about the people especially the chinese americans he's talking about the country china yeah because

00:05:54.480 you say something bad like that so come at you so you know that's your reporting yeah and they reach

00:05:58.780 out and they're like we'd love they're trying to turn you out with you of all the people hold on

00:06:02.720 for a recording device okay he's clean he's clean not where i put it down i'm not touching that

00:06:09.160 vish can we get a producer out here frisk this guy uh yeah of all the people that could

00:06:14.180 have reached out to i'm astonished they picked me and i tried to kind of tacitly ask why they did

00:06:19.260 that and they kind of dodged the question but yeah i got an email from someone at gmail.com

00:06:25.020 which was the first surprising thing uh asking if i'd be interested in talking to the chinese

00:06:29.740 embassy and my first thought was you know this is this is bullshit when did this happen just

00:06:34.120 recently this is last week yeah you didn't tell me i'm not falling for this after giving that

00:06:39.080 nigerian prince my bank account number he's never gotten back to me i'm still waiting to meet his

00:06:44.160 daughter uh yeah so i sent that pakistani money i i know viewers are going to be hanging on on the

00:06:51.940 edge of their seat to know how did the pearson sharp chinese embassy engagement proceed yeah it was

00:06:56.600 very diplomatic i uh i took the matt gates approach and uh i was very diplomatic be offended and uh yeah

00:07:03.040 yeah um and i just it was very smile and nod because i knew that

00:07:08.720 china has this very interesting thing as part of their culture called uh saving face and we all kind

00:07:15.180 of know what that means yeah over here but over there it's it's completely different from what we

00:07:21.220 expect here to give you an example you could uh you could be in the market going to buy something

00:07:27.080 from someone and he drops your meat on the floor he picks it up and hands it you know you just drop that

00:07:31.980 on the floor no i didn't and you'd say oh oh okay no you didn't you know he's lying he knows you know

00:07:37.140 he's lying but you both just go along with it so that no one's embarrassed and that that sounds

00:07:41.300 like the later years of marriage oh is that good for you yeah it was good for me so that that level

00:07:49.160 of deceit transfers all the way up to the top and they just expect that kind of brinkmanship when

00:07:54.020 you're discussing something with anybody so i knew that he was lying to me especially i got to ask him

00:07:58.580 some questions about tibet which is a personal subject of mine that i love and he was lying

00:08:03.360 flat out about it but you know i'm just i'm not there to debate him i just want to hear what he

00:08:07.340 has to say and you know kind of do my own fishing expedition to see why they wanted to talk to me

00:08:11.820 i never really got a clear answer but he did bring up uh at the start uh you know so we see that

00:08:19.360 one american news is now you have a seat in the pentagon and so we feel that one american news is very

00:08:26.340 important and we like to reach out to media organizations and we feel that we've uh been

00:08:32.420 lacking in our discussions with oen so we wanted to correct that mistake lots of these sons of

00:08:36.760 so they emailed you a week ago yeah the chinese embassy right then you got on a phone call with

00:08:42.460 them right and they're explaining why they want to now embrace you they wanted to meet with they

00:08:46.440 wanted to meet me in dc and have tea so if i was a little closer that would have been fun they were

00:08:51.780 trying to flip you now you know what that was that's where you meet the honeypot right you know

00:08:55.900 and let me bring up they were trying to there's a honeypot feature they were trying to eric swallow

00:09:00.260 will you it was an hour-long interview conversation whatever at the end i was like okay i got a

00:09:05.340 meeting i got to go to i got to leave and the guy was like oh okay wait one second and he turned

00:09:09.840 the camera over and there was this young chinese it was a zoom there yeah this young chinese girl

00:09:14.660 sitting there and so she started grilling fang fang here comes fang fang i think the honeypot

00:09:19.100 wing wall dude i think what they're learning is bing bang bang bang the the honeypot scheme does

00:09:24.920 not work as well over zoom not quite can you imagine and it only works with stupid liberals

00:09:30.800 because i think most conservatives especially people at this network uh are on guard and on edge

00:09:36.040 at all i tell you what they give us a defensive briefing on that in in congress i wonder if they

00:09:40.220 do it in the military do they do they ever tell you in the military if some like really attractive

00:09:45.200 person rolls up on you that you don't deserve like you should wonder whether or not they're a spy

00:09:48.760 i gotta think back to 92 3 when i went in there were i think we did get we got some sort of

00:09:54.140 briefing about if you ever get approached by anybody foreign into the edit bring it forward

00:09:57.620 to your commander it happens all over dc no listen brother my four years in here we go i stayed away

00:10:04.540 from any possible connections with any foreign agents let's put it that way well the joke at the

00:10:10.140 trump hotel like in in the early years of the administration was like one out of every three

00:10:15.080 woman there was either a prostitute or a spy and sometimes overlap you know honestly or working

00:10:20.000 for comey at the fbi yeah because we heard about that honeypot those are spies but actually the

00:10:25.420 honeypot the honeypot scheme is one that's run all over the globe i think most of the spies on the

00:10:30.360 planet earth are women and it's because they're better at extracting information than than men

00:10:36.360 i don't have to try as hard i was gonna say how is a guy gonna go honeypot a gal that's like working

00:10:42.540 for our fbi or our cia is a guy gonna honeypot them i mean james bond was kind of a honeypot wasn't

00:10:48.000 that's true he did extract information from ladies but he was not too many but he was he was g-o-g

00:10:51.980 honeypot he was james bond yeah especially sean connery he could he could honeypot chicks i mean

00:10:56.820 sean more by the way real quick who's the best james bond go i like pierce brosnan not bad

00:11:02.000 roger moore you liked roger i did i'm going with sean connery all right anyway where were we we got

00:11:07.780 the best we covered yeah i'm gonna get by the way i'm gonna get roasted in the comments for that

00:11:12.200 take we're picking him oh at least you didn't say uh timothy dalton or somebody like that no no

00:11:15.940 he was clearly the worst but we are gonna do movies later because you know the big academy

00:11:19.580 awards are this weekend yeah yeah we're an award season aren't you excited did you watch the uh

00:11:24.780 i used to watch him as a kid and now i have absolutely no interest uh i had to cover him matt

00:11:31.040 over this i thought i told you that on the first episode you know this about me i thought i don't

00:11:35.240 know anything about you okay everybody's looking like strange at me for like 13 years of my 30

00:11:40.000 some year career in tv they had me being an entertainment reporter i got sent to hollywood

00:11:44.260 all the time i was on the red carpet for the oscars emmys grammys multiple film festivals i covered

00:11:50.300 that crap for years i couldn't tell you what bill was happening in congress 20 years ago but i could

00:11:55.640 tell you what a-list celeb was banging what a-list celeb did you ever ask someone the question who are

00:12:00.640 you wearing because i just can't imagine that coming out of dan falls no i don't i had to think

00:12:07.600 about that for a second but no matter of fact i would actually do my homework and most of the

00:12:12.100 celebs i would interview and i recall a few of them that point like kate winslet and others who

00:12:16.620 pointed out thank you that was a very good question because they're used to those idiot

00:12:20.560 reporters from access hollywood entertainment tonight on the red carpet going oh my god what are you

00:12:25.020 wearing is that valentino is that gucci what's your next project they're just stupid

00:12:29.020 questions like what are your thoughts on on global trade initiative that no i would look them up i

00:12:35.540 would do what's called research for you journalists out there and then i would come at them with i see

00:12:40.640 you were born and raised in wisconsin and blah blah blah you did a film 23 years ago your second

00:12:45.040 film ever that was and they'd be like oh my gosh you actually looked that up or you knew that

00:12:48.740 thanks for knowing that about me and not asking a stupid ass question like i think you were you are

00:12:53.520 more intense as a political commentator than you were as an entertainment reporter or what like should we

00:12:58.540 expected it was the same intensity across both platforms because i could see you being one real

00:13:03.360 intense entertainment reporter um i know who you're sleeping with you better get over here and answer

00:13:10.420 my question i kind of assumes he's not this intense all the time like he never turns off yeah it's the

00:13:15.680 same dan it's the same dan you get you get him on air as you get him in person but that's why we named

00:13:21.300 the damn show real america because i try to stay as real as possible everybody knows you do if you're

00:13:26.100 sitting having a drink with me outside of the office i act the same damn way i'm not trying to

00:13:30.500 put on airs or act for y'all at home this is me i'm a little out there you don't like it click change

00:13:37.300 the channel that's what we that's what we come for free will baby it's called free will uh to answer

00:13:42.060 your question yes and no i mean i wasn't like ruthless like i am with politicians because let's be

00:13:48.180 real matt as politicians you guys represent us and decide our fate in washington dc so obviously i'm way

00:13:54.620 more intense when i was on the carpet would i you know try to get travolta to dance with me or do

00:13:59.180 the splits or act crazy or you know try to kiss some uh hot actress just to like make a scene yeah

00:14:04.760 so i was a little intense that way but no i wasn't like nasty and ruthless and whatever to them they're

00:14:10.060 just celebrities who gives them sounds like it would definitely be frowned upon you want to go to

00:14:14.700 2025 you want to go to the oscars with me this weekend and raise hell uh i i don't even know

00:14:20.540 like what's gonna win the the stuff that started winning was all this obscure crap i don't know the

00:14:25.080 movie's up do you right nothing's good anymore there's no i haven't been to a movie in like five

00:14:29.000 years i don't pay attention last movie you went to i can't even remember honestly i really i think the

00:14:35.200 last movie i went to was wedding crashers oh my god that was such a 2005 i love that movie last one

00:14:40.940 because well think about it you go to a movie theater you go to a movie theater and it's basically

00:14:46.300 public seating right so other people have been sitting there grinding away yeah yeah not just

00:14:52.640 sitting and then you got to like get up to go to the bathroom you can't pause anything i just never

00:15:00.100 the home experience got for most movie i would not go to the theater for wedding crashers but i would

00:15:06.440 go for star wars you know a big spectacle i did the top gun one that came out two years ago would be

00:15:11.420 great the maverick one because my daughter actually wanted to see it we were living good movie it was a

00:15:15.240 great movie which is tom cruise helped to save hollywood for a second i have two daughters and

00:15:21.720 i have not had time to see it great movie my daughter because we live in san diego and we were

00:15:26.420 living at a home uh just off the runway of miramar up on the hill so we could watch the fighter jets take

00:15:31.500 off and so my daughter my wife actually wanted to see that one that was one of the last big releases

00:15:36.020 in the last four or five years i've ever gone to but then i did go to a theater uh to watch our

00:15:41.600 friend james o'keefe's line in the sand movie about the his documentary about the border so i did go to

00:15:46.020 that one a few months ago prior to that it was top gun in the last five six years that's it two movies

00:15:50.420 they say now that uh hollywood's going to start working with uh the more patriotic actors some of

00:15:57.940 the more patriotic writers or is that to get away from the the wokeness mark walberg and uh the big move

00:16:03.680 yeah like the two ambassadors are now or whatever that's i it's important because we were talking

00:16:10.240 in our first episode about good morning vietnam and it inspiring your service by the way that was

00:16:15.500 what we got the most comments on was really people think people debating how good good morning vietnam

00:16:21.540 was or wasn't as a movie so have added comment section go in you might not like it but i did when

00:16:26.380 you have the movies that um really lionize that patriotism it does help in recruiting and we are

00:16:32.820 hearing that the recruiting is way up right now which you usually don't get outside of a war have

00:16:38.120 you seen the new ads you saw the old ad oh yeah biden like the the navy woke one remember that navy

00:16:44.340 one god was that disgusting my mother's inspired get the hell out of here now now the ads i've been

00:16:49.560 seeing have been very very pro-american just a bunch of dudes running around like using goggles and

00:16:54.900 blowing shit up yeah like that's what we're supposed to be doing that's what guys want to do

00:17:00.660 yeah we want to jump out of planes what i signed up for shoot at things and then it up on tv so they

00:17:05.480 say the number one referral source is a family member who had a positive experience in the

00:17:11.620 military that's correct and you know you've said very on air a lot that you don't even know that

00:17:17.160 you would recommend a young person to go join the military what i want biden yeah what i wonder is

00:17:21.800 has that fully like gone 180 in your mind well are you totally back on the team that you would say to a

00:17:28.340 young person this is a great way to advance your life right now yes because i believe president

00:17:33.200 trump will keep us out of endless wars so if tomorrow my daughter who's going to be 18 this

00:17:38.260 october came to me and said you know what dad forget it i'm not going to go to college next year which

00:17:43.080 she's planning on which again i told her you decide because i don't want to waste a bunch of money on a

00:17:47.660 bunch of woke bs so if you don't want to go go in the peace corps go get a job first see how it is in

00:17:53.060 the real world or go in the military and i said today i would be okay with it because i think

00:17:59.220 trump will keep us out of endless wars i know that pete is cleaning up the military as we speak

00:18:04.120 firing woke generals and colonels that deserve it and so yes today i would under biden no because we

00:18:10.660 were facing sending troops to ukraine sending troops to middle east and when i talk to active duty

00:18:15.820 service members and i know you do as well uh pearson what this is all i hear from them is i should be

00:18:21.140 out training on the mock battlefield or i should be in my boat my ship my plane my tank doing things

00:18:28.680 but they've got me in a classroom training woke deibs that's actually upsetting our active duty

00:18:35.000 troops not the woke ones that went in that are looking for a free education the patriots that went

00:18:39.500 in to serve and as pearson so eloquently put blow shit up those guys and gals actually just want to do

00:18:45.640 their job and be training and they can't every day they've got them in the classroom for like four

00:18:51.040 years i think it's just come to an end now for four years out of fort bragg they're running a

00:18:56.300 operation training the officers that pro-life members people who are pro-life even to the point

00:19:03.620 where you just have one of those covers on your license plate that says something pro-life were

00:19:08.580 actual terrorists were domestic terrorists and in the slides that they were using to train them

00:19:13.720 people who are pro-life were right next to isis as far as being categorized so you have islamic state

00:19:21.540 people who cut people's heads off the exact same people who are pro-abortion should be on that i mean

00:19:27.180 talking about there's a hot take yeah talking about killing people pro-choice people are isis

00:19:32.520 says pearson sharp i mean talking about killing innocent people well i i think that uh what is

00:19:40.140 so telling to me is how fast someone who like has served like dan can reverse on it though because

00:19:46.640 there's a lot of this stuff it's going to take a while to get the fbi cleaned up to get the doj

00:19:51.140 cleaned up to get power out of agencies like the department of education and department of labor

00:19:55.840 but what what's so telling to me about your observation is the right leadership at the top

00:20:01.260 you're you're you're ready to support this organization its goals and that's not if we

00:20:06.320 don't have them think about it well no we have a country it's so important we gotta have a strong

00:20:09.720 military and i was scared i'll admit it i was scared shitless the last four years that if we went

00:20:16.240 to another big war would we have enough dedicated fighting troops again and this is shit we lost our

00:20:22.980 last war to the to the a bunch of goat herders in afghanistan i mean so i mean it we don't have a

00:20:28.800 big like winning record right now we well and look how we pulled out though under that leadership

00:20:33.400 right and now pete's claiming there's gonna he just said it yesterday or today i think heads are

00:20:37.680 gonna roll he's launching a full investigation into the withdrawal of afghanistan and allegedly and i

00:20:42.380 hope they do it you better do it pete and mr trump do it heads should roll people should pay

00:20:47.500 they have 13 killed the 45 maimed for life and and and oh but the 89 billion in equipment stuff

00:20:54.180 we left behind that we now find out is in the hands of iranians the chinese the russians that

00:20:58.840 are our gears everywhere now somebody needs to pay for that well i'm glad they got rid of that cq brown

00:21:04.660 guy he was the chairman of the joint chiefs he was terrible i met with him a bunch of times

00:21:09.440 give us some inside baseball matt on that guy yeah well that that he he was somebody who um

00:21:15.360 after the george floyd thing made this ridiculous video about how like everyone was you know either

00:21:22.400 the oppressor the oppressed and so many people that were in my military heavy community valued

00:21:28.900 unit cohesion over celebrating their differences and it seemed as though brown was one of those that

00:21:35.260 came up in those ranks but look it can be fixed quickly that's a wonderful thing can hollywood be as

00:21:40.520 fixed as quickly we're gonna be talking a lot about hollywood but if you got the right

00:21:44.240 these hollywood ambassadors sylvester stallone like you said mel gibson walberg is there enough

00:21:51.500 of a spark of patriotism in that place to start making more movies like top gun maverick and good

00:21:58.480 morning vietnam that would have the impact right inspiring people to that service my answer is no

00:22:03.660 what do you think i think there absolutely is enough people who want to do that but in hollywood i think

00:22:08.300 it's going to branch out and be elsewhere it's going to be yeah independent studios see and that's

00:22:12.600 what a lot of them are that's what you're talking about so important that is so important because

00:22:16.920 that's like that is america that's what that's our forward face that everybody sees that's what

00:22:22.560 america is to a lot of people is our movies that's true media yeah foreign nation that defines it like

00:22:26.900 the 80s are our muscle men movies schwarzenegger oh yeah you'd meet somebody from a china from

00:22:31.140 whatever america and they'd be like oh america favorite movie pearson it's true but what is my

00:22:35.460 favorite yeah yeah we know that we know that good morning vietnam is glad wow he didn't miss

00:22:39.640 it very russell crowe huh yeah absolutely by the way what what we do in life echoes an eternity yeah

00:22:45.240 can i just say it again the opening lines of the sharp report next week i've interviewed him on the

00:22:50.300 red carpet a couple times prick really oh there's a scoop wait wait hold on what are you drinking

00:22:56.060 everybody knows that he's a prick now i've said it four times he's not a nice guy he's rude to people

00:23:00.600 russell crow sorry ladies he ain't that nice of a guy and you've seen him lately

00:23:04.160 anyway he looked like the kind of guy that would get thick he is thick nowadays and not nice maybe

00:23:10.080 he's gotten sweeter in his older and fatter years but he's not very nice to people his fans you see

00:23:14.540 the last movie press netflix land of bad yeah yeah when i'm fatter i'm nicer to people

00:23:20.120 not just generally so you're saying the osempic version you can't run it oh no i would never do

00:23:27.980 i know i'm busted i would chop you know why because people get that weird osempic face

00:23:31.900 like you know and others you you think affleck's on the osempic it's an opinion we talked about this

00:23:37.740 few weeks ago look at the freaking uh comedy central roast of tom brady oh yeah when he walked

00:23:43.820 out i didn't recognize him i had to do a double take goes that ben affleck he was all

00:23:47.620 like this they look horrible a lot of celebrities do it's not just they're all taking the osempic it's

00:23:53.880 horrible it's so bad for you i told you we had a family member on my wife's side take the generic

00:23:59.620 version only for a few months and lost her gallbladder over it like and people are so addicted to

00:24:05.360 looking all felt skinny like a suspect medical claim i'm gonna push back for the sake no the

00:24:10.800 doctor told her it was probably that pod suit um so i don't know i wouldn't take that crap oh yeah

00:24:17.380 i want to back up you asked me what is your favorite movie the truman show was filmed in my house

00:24:21.480 it was about a guy who's always on television that inspired matt's career i uh some have opined

00:24:28.660 that that might be the case yeah the truman show was filmed in our little beach house i got to meet

00:24:33.680 jim carrey and then he was my talent hero jim carrey i loved him was it was it was it like the

00:24:39.800 liar liar version liar liar yeah that that got a lot of i think i have i can't imagine it was ace ventura

00:24:45.180 i loved ace ventura that was a scary movie he did with the room 13 or something 13 yeah he's so

00:24:51.180 good because he can make you laugh he can make you cry he can scare you he's i think he's underrated

00:24:55.820 but a messed up individual but he's got yeah he's he's especially the later years there's art and

00:25:00.360 everything else that he's doing yeah he painted a dark picture of me a whole did a whole thing about

00:25:05.740 about me did he so wait which beach house was it his house it was truman's where truman lived it was

00:25:11.080 yours yeah where he was where's chilling so i got to watch the movie get made right on it was amazing

00:25:16.620 like when a movie gets made there's so much that goes into it that i i never really appreciated until

00:25:21.380 then tons of waste and fraud like dc you think so i mean look how much money they spend pampering

00:25:28.060 these overpaid celebrities craft services and assistants and hair and makeup and assistants

00:25:33.660 like you look at an assistant you should watch the filming of the matt gates show i'm like damn it i

00:25:37.300 need m&ms only the blue ones yeah did you have any demands when you started out there you should see

00:25:42.900 his trailer it's it's matt has a car a trailer assistance makeup i have to live in the trailer

00:25:48.680 so they have they have all that that same uh trailer system it's like one company that provides all of

00:25:55.180 them to every trailer wars or whatever i've seen it on the thing right star star fleet star something i

00:25:59.900 don't know yeah there's like two main companies that do all the bookings for those trailers and

00:26:03.500 everything it's such a racket though i mean you can i've been on independent film sets and i've been on

00:26:08.060 big film sets when i used to cover them and you see this massive huge budget of a hundred million

00:26:13.340 and the hundreds of employees and all the crap and then you go to independent when they made for three

00:26:17.780 million and then the final product you go right that movie was just as good yep what the hell and

00:26:22.120 i get it's an industry and you're employing people and that's great it's that's actually that's actually

00:26:25.580 crashing disney right now yeah independence which is what you were talking about walberg and all those

00:26:30.100 guys want to move stuff out of hollywood so to your question about will it survive will patriots

00:26:35.620 shine through in hollywood in film yes in the actual city of hollywood no i don't think so

00:26:40.180 those power brokers aren't gonna let that happen well it's so interesting that that's happened with

00:26:43.460 many other industries where there's not the concentration of talent uh in new york la it's

00:26:50.300 people have diffused uh all over the country and that has created opportunity even in your mid-market

00:26:56.360 small market celebrities are getting out of hollywood they're moving to nevada utah texas tennessee

00:27:01.740 florida well i've been living in hollywood anymore after that list comes out tomorrow i think

00:27:05.500 a lot more gonna be leaving oh are we really getting see i don't know i don't know it's all

00:27:10.800 redacted what's going on there it is it does feel like there's some attention paid to what foreign

00:27:18.360 governments might be exposed in some of this material it does seem like that and it absolutely

00:27:24.640 it's uncomfortable when it's your allies who are doing things that might be trying to come are they

00:27:31.560 our allies though it does have a bit of a frenemy energy that's polite yeah it's very politic yes

00:27:39.420 our frenemies yeah it's uh it's going to be interesting i think that um the good old boys

00:27:45.080 at the doj and the fbi have already done their redacting and burning and deleting and i don't

00:27:51.800 think that pam and cash are going to get the real story to give us the american people the real story

00:27:56.620 that's a very because the bureaucrats are stopping them obviously sunlight is the best disinfectant

00:28:01.220 sure it's pessimistic but it's realistic i mean when have we ever gotten the full story on any of

00:28:05.280 this stuff i'm still waiting for jfk that was supposed to be well when trump was in the first

00:28:09.120 time he said he declassified that and they wouldn't give him all the files but they wouldn't give him

00:28:13.020 everything and then this time they had a two week or 13 day limit on when they were supposed to

00:28:17.160 release everything that was a month they even have a committee they put your friend anna polina luna in

00:28:20.680 charge of the committee i talked to earlier today and you know it's supposed to be what rfk mlk jfk and

00:28:26.660 epstein and we get it all trump demands give it all but if the people behind the scenes already

00:28:32.260 redacted deleted it or burn it how the hell are we getting it all we're not they can't bring it back

00:29:53.800 since the academy awards is this weekend uh he got in a meeting something happened he can't make it

00:29:58.160 happen so i guess you're stuck with just us but isaiah is a cool guy about that met him um up at you

00:30:04.960 and i've talked about this and we're going to take you up and do some shooting at my friend uh taron

00:30:12.640 guns for hollywood and all the celebrities he teaches them how to shoot and i met isaiah there

00:30:17.500 a few years ago shooting huge t2a guy and so and hollywood what's your favorite kind of hunting though

00:30:23.060 to do like favorite kind and i've already taken hogs from the don't say spies um

00:30:30.320 i don't know pheasant is really fun i like pheasant a lot i've never been wild boar see maybe i'm not

00:30:38.140 doing the pheasant thing right because to me it just feels like an execution like is there is there

00:30:42.780 fair hunt when you go kick a pheasant out of the bushes and it's like a few feet in front you still

00:30:47.620 have to have accuracy and calm nerves and be able to take that bird down i've seen a chance i've seen

00:30:53.480 a lot of experienced hunters miss their first and second shot on pheasant don't kid yourself

00:30:58.780 so what about that whale what about those quail hunts where they just pour the birds out of like a

00:31:03.200 giant bucket and then you're just blowing them to smithereen but see i don't i've never been on any of

00:31:08.060 those staged hunts where you're on somebody's property where they're raising them and they're

00:31:12.140 kind of fenced in and you're guaranteed to get something yeah that i don't do that is that that

00:31:16.140 that does not feel like a fair hunt not a fair we call it a canned hunt in florida we actually we

00:31:20.760 actually passed some laws against some of them because they were just so um never done it uh kind

00:31:25.880 of against the spirit of what i can't afford it i mean when i was growing up on the farm in northwest

00:31:30.420 ohio if you wanted to go hunting right you took off a week of school when you're in high school

00:31:34.400 and you grabbed your cousins and your dad and your brothers as many as you could and you load up

00:31:37.960 in the trucks and you went out to somebody's land or woods or your own if you owned it if you're

00:31:42.860 lucky enough which we didn't we only owned like two acres um and then you got what you got there

00:31:47.940 was no stage thing with raised animals and you're guaranteed you're gonna come home with a deer today

00:31:52.280 you might go all week and freeze your ass off and not get a shot off if you fence it and it lives

00:31:58.060 inside the fence it's a pet so i'm gonna allow to there you go and you never went on those right

00:32:03.520 no exactly that's not hunting uh but uh we had a house in the woods and my mom would feed the deer

00:32:12.240 and my best friend got word of that and he loved to hunt so he went up to my bedroom window sat down

00:32:20.020 with a rifle a cup of hot chocolate and waited for the deer to come to him and he got a deer that day

00:32:25.620 i mean a lot of people do that though on their own property how did your mom sell about that oh my mom

00:32:30.520 was my mom was brutal she was she was all about culling the herd you know thin the numbers she was

00:32:35.500 fine with that well if you listen to ted nugent last week you have to i mean a true hunter is a

00:32:40.300 conservation there's too many in ohio there's that there is between the deadly accidents then you

00:32:44.560 have starvation dying of disease yeah eating the crops that we don't have anymore so something's

00:32:49.280 got to kill him yeah so bottom line is are you for the reintroduction of the wolf because that

00:32:54.080 that's like a big policy question that is a big policy question i don't know all the aspects

00:32:58.220 about it but it seems reasonable to reintroduce the wolf in some areas because the ranchers and

00:33:03.220 like people with small children sometimes don't love the idea of a roving that's understandable

00:33:08.500 editors but i think in some areas it makes sense they're they're a natural part of the ecosystem

00:33:12.540 just i'm pro wolf you know i am as well i like wolves you know that there is a wolf rehabilitation

00:33:19.920 center about an hour from right where we're sitting up in the mountains of julian california that yeah

00:33:25.040 i featured him on my hungry heroes show about a year and a half ago i learned tons about i spent

00:33:29.300 the day with wolves and learned you are correct huge part of the ecosystem need to be reintroduced

00:33:34.460 in the correct areas for the ecosystem so i agree i'm pro wolf in the right areas wolves and then

00:33:40.160 they they elected him the pack leader yes actually as it turns out today there are eight wolves that are

00:33:45.000 still loyal to dan ball and we'll do whatever he says after that experience i bit one and showed that

00:33:49.140 and does that thing did you get the chocolate labs yet no uh flying up north in two weeks to bring

00:33:56.360 him home to the ranch dude i can't wait i can't wait oh i'll bring him into the studio for the uh

00:34:00.680 let me lay right here the first time those dogs chew up some of peyton's shoes you're gonna be in

00:34:05.060 trouble now i know you say they're like trained and will never chew up shoes but that just means

00:34:09.880 they only chew up a few they're gonna be ranch dogs which means they're outside that's good oh labs are

00:34:15.320 stinky they will come in and be part of the family and i'll throw them treats when i'm cooking and

00:34:20.100 they're my boys but they're gonna be ranch dogs which means you're out living in your kennel when

00:34:25.600 i'm not home you're out roaming my my so not sleeping in the bed no you're outside you're you're getting

00:34:31.140 the gophers the moles and the squirrels off my damn property that's what i want the boys for and

00:34:36.120 i'm obviously hunting fishing hanging out with and camaraderie and i've always loved labs yeah english

00:34:41.580 chocolate that's what i'm getting you a pet guy pearson i used to be more so than i am today

00:34:46.000 uh-oh what happened did you get bit in the ass no they're just they're a lot of work and i find the

00:34:51.500 older i get the less work i want to do maintaining the house you know so was it dogs or cats or it was

00:34:56.940 both i grew up with dogs um had some great dogs i grew up with corgis and uh they're just they're

00:35:03.020 amazing animals i don't do you know anything about corgis they're like the the british uh the queen

00:35:07.160 had yeah the queen had corgis but they're they're herding dogs and they're very very loyal very

00:35:12.860 intelligent and when you get them as a child they think you are their herd and they protect you

00:35:17.320 and there was one time when we had a neighbor who had just a vicious vicious little scottish terrier

00:35:22.780 um hated people hated kids especially and me and uh we lived on a golf course and i was out playing

00:35:29.760 in the sprinklers or something and she saw me the neighbor dog made a beeline right for me to go attack

00:35:34.820 me and my mom watched it happen couldn't do anything about it my dog cromwell came out of

00:35:39.520 nowhere cromwell well yeah follow-up question after arthurian uh ran over knocked her down

00:35:47.060 crashed into her knocked her down and stood on top of her biting her neck until my mom could get there

00:35:50.820 and get me out and then he let her go and that was it and you can't put in enough work for these

00:35:55.020 animals to have another one saved your life from that terror now you're like well i'm older a lot of

00:36:00.240 we have a ranch i'll have some more animals but you know we live in the suburbs and there's just

00:36:04.980 a little yard yep that's what kept me from having dogs for the last umpteen years i want them to be

00:36:09.520 able to run around and be free well and you know like i lived i lived in ohio we had like three acres

00:36:14.320 in the woods and we had probably like 17 cats all kinds of one point they're outdoor they're barn cats

00:36:19.980 in the house yeah they're barn cats they'd come in they'd eat in the kitchen for a few minutes and go

00:36:23.440 out and that you know that was fun i'm never had a mouse problem yeah exactly i'm about to get some of

00:36:27.840 those i got mice in my garage chewing shit up and all my neighbors are like just go to the pound ask

00:36:32.720 if they have some feral ones that they're that don't act very nice that aren't good in the side

00:36:36.260 and bring them home put them in your garage give them food milk water whatever the mice will be gone

00:36:40.680 in minutes that a house cat is one of the most efficient killers on the planet astonishing they

00:36:47.740 really are effective killers and whether it's birds mice and then when they love you because i'm i'm a

00:36:53.420 cat person and a dog person when a cat really loves you they'll go kill a snake or a rat and then

00:36:58.880 they'll bring it to you here man show off yeah to tell it to show the how much they love you and care

00:37:04.140 about you and so some they'd be bringing some stinky bird or rodent and i would always praise the

00:37:08.960 cat and thank oh thank you so much for bringing this to me you're very sweet to do that well that a

00:37:14.400 nine millimeter take care of i did something we're the other night we were moving stuff around the

00:37:17.940 house oh yeah and uh it was it's a mouse but it was a mouse it wasn't a rat it was a mouse

00:37:23.260 the country yes the country mouse big ass mouse just outside my wife's garage as i was back in

00:37:29.140 her car out and she was doing some stuff in and i'm like i looked down and she just like jumped out

00:37:33.840 of her she scared the mouse into freezing right in front of me i had nothing to take it has that

00:37:39.340 effect on people she was like ah and then i'm like what the so yeah i had to the season wait hold on

00:37:46.240 you just went straight for the for the piece shot like it was high noon at the saloon

00:37:52.420 and nothing else to kill all right how far away was this shot and how many shots did you take to

00:37:58.480 just like from here to that set it wasn't that far one you get it in one i i shot it once and it

00:38:04.440 didn't kill it it maimed it how big was this mouse yeah it was a big mouse yeah and it's hard to hit

00:38:08.600 the vitals of a mouse yes with a nine mil one handing in the dark so yeah i missed it well i missed it

00:38:15.180 the first time because it didn't move clipped it was like and then took care of it on the second

00:38:19.500 one yeah but it scared my wife i didn't have a ball bat or close enough to step on it and for all you

00:38:25.460 animal lovers and pita read between the lines i don't want to hear your emails so yeah i took care

00:38:30.340 of it i dispatched the rat funeral full rights no my neighbor was there and i said what should i do

00:38:38.620 with it because he's lived there for 40 some years and he said um down the hill to be gone in the

00:38:42.800 morning no he just said leave it there the owls and you hear them every night out at our ranch he's

00:38:46.820 like just wait those those owls do but then the owl would have the lead from the bullet in it

00:38:51.200 actually he didn't take it i we think a possum raccoon took it so the possum because they'll eat

00:38:55.880 dead stuff the owls don't want dead stuff they want it alive yeah that's why you got to watch your

00:38:59.580 small cats and dogs in cali these big huge screech owl barn owls that we have out here in cali

00:39:05.420 they're big i saw one the other day i'm like that could probably pick up a 10 12 pound dog

00:39:08.880 or cat oh yeah the the gal we bought the house from husband wife team she said in the 48 years

00:39:15.040 they lived there they lost three cats and she witnessed one of them sitting on the deck laying

00:39:20.620 in her layout chair and the cat jumped up on the railing and within seconds the owl came from the

00:39:25.100 palm tree and went and took her kitty away that's nature bro you know it's pretty small you better

00:39:30.080 keep an eye on her yes from the wolves and the owls yes and the possums and the raccoon we do have

00:39:36.840 all those guys will have to stop you like living out in the country now you i mean you were you were

00:39:40.120 just kind of getting out there and getting settled now you've had multiple animal encounters i mean

00:39:44.140 yes we do is it everything you hope animals have had encounters with dan they do brief ones uh a very

00:39:50.220 large um i was i was waiting for ground squirrels because they're horrible in california uh with an old

00:39:56.000 870 pump because i don't have a lot of small caliber stuff so i need to buy some now that i have a ranch i

00:40:00.420 need a vermin gun but i have big stuff and so i was sitting waiting for squirrels with an old

00:40:05.440 remington 870 pump 12 as one does and as one does um and a little gopher decided to pop his head up

00:40:12.260 a few yards out so he lost his head so yeah if you it sounds like you're an excellent shot if you so

00:40:18.780 i've been shooting it sounds that way yeah come out anytime you guys want to get the cameras rolling

00:40:24.160 the next episode of man we'll be sitting around with our guns looking for a gopher to pop his head

00:40:29.200 out a bunch of elmer fudge just sitting there in total silence the damage most people don't know the

00:40:34.380 damage they do i didn't realize this oh yeah i haven't had big property i've owned a couple

00:40:38.160 homes in cali before but they were like you small cul-de-sac your neighbor's right on top of you

00:40:42.960 you've got a backyard maybe a pool that's it you don't have yardage you don't have you don't have

00:40:46.540 acreage and so i'm coming to find now owning only two and a half acres and my neighbors all have two

00:40:51.900 and a half to five they're like bro you can set the traps and get rid of them for a season a year

00:40:56.100 they're right back and the damage they cause is detrimental to your property you got to bring in

00:41:01.460 fill dirt roll it like my neighbors had a boulder actually shift and move on his yard because the

00:41:07.340 squirrels dug out so many damn holes underneath it burying nuts and i have this is going to sound

00:41:12.760 fun i have nuts on my land and so what kind of there's a new one now macadamia yeah um and so i

00:41:20.040 can literally go out and count hundreds of holes and then there's macadamia shell casings so the

00:41:24.560 obviously what you need to build is a series of owl perches around this area and when you're not

00:41:30.880 hunting the owls can hunt for you have you got a good way to get rid of ground squirrels because

00:41:35.280 they're not like back home they don't tree cats they don't treat and out their holes we need an

00:41:39.380 owl guy no i don't want to get rid of owls owls are my friend i want to get rid of the no you want

00:41:43.480 the owls squirrels yes get rid of the gophers no i i would say uh you can't get rid of the owls

00:41:47.780 illegal in california but there are falcon this is a job there are falconers who go around places to

00:41:53.480 keep like the pigeons and stuff away ginger and i were having uh dinner at the montecito club

00:41:59.300 and some homie is just rolling around with some i've seen that falcon thing he lets them go and

00:42:05.040 and and you know the mere presence of that predatory bird is a sufficient deterrent to all the seagulls

00:42:12.980 or yes um pigeons or whatever would be disruptive to the guests so like i i had to go up to that guy

00:42:18.520 and be like listen obviously you got some time on your hands you're going to be here for the next eight

00:42:22.500 hours with your falcon how does one get into this line of work yeah how does it's a very niche hobby

00:42:27.580 i've seen that before at a homeschool kids do that by the way that was it he was like well i was

00:42:32.820 homeschooled it's legit though i was at a hotel on it this is why he's the best investigative reporter

00:42:39.340 at the network he did not need two guesses on how someone became a falconer he had a lot of time on

00:42:44.700 his hands that's something i would do that sounds fun honestly that's like it's legit though i was at a

00:42:49.300 hotel in palm springs palm desert area it's like a marriott they have a huge outdoor indoor boat fountain

00:42:54.820 situation thing and so the birds can get in and out a lot and there's a dude that walks around

00:42:59.080 with a falcon and i asked one time like yeah it's to keep you know he has his choice of any single

00:43:04.780 chick in that place oh yeah is that a because the ladies walk up can i touch your bird can i just

00:43:10.480 think you just look like the coolest guy ever like walking around with a deterrent yeah i pick up chicks

00:43:16.800 you'd be like think uh yeah i mean think about it if i walked into like the the white house press

00:43:22.020 briefing room with you on my arm joke was foul right and i had like if i brought pearson sharp on

00:43:28.220 my arm and i and i walked that would clear the room they would clear they'd be like there's the room

00:43:32.220 now anyway yes um but so because you look like a pissed off mr clean accurate doesn't he look at

00:43:38.200 him accurate yeah and he's got the voice i'm pearson sharp well this is my tv voice there's pearson

00:43:44.640 so we've covered dan living in the country uh hey did we get my buddy's stuff worked out is that

00:43:51.200 what we're saying oh my gosh isaiah washington's on the line waiting we can bring him on now if

00:43:55.560 he's there and talk about hollywood let's do it i want to you know why he'll be able to tell us

00:43:59.320 what the hell the movies are probably that are actually up this year at the academy awards because

00:44:03.600 as we all said we have no freaking there he is there's isaiah bring him in dan what's up brother

00:44:08.520 man i don't know why it takes i had to open up a whole new skype account for you i don't know why

00:44:15.580 listen we're all old except pearson and we don't know technology i get it i get it so you missed the

00:44:22.320 first half hour or so and uh i already intro'd you and and talked about you folks if you don't

00:44:27.280 know isaiah washington's career look it up amazing actor hell of an aim you want to talk about going

00:44:32.300 hunting and who's probably a better shot than matt gates and pearson sharp isaiah is pretty damn good

00:44:36.800 with the pistol so watch out um well as the one guy without an earpiece this is an interesting

00:44:41.140 conversation oh that's right we didn't give pearson an earpiece he wasn't going to be here to talk to

00:44:44.300 isaiah sorry brother um isaiah so my question is and and matt and i because we were literally clueless

00:44:50.520 we don't even know any of the names of the films being nominated this year because hollywood's been so

00:44:54.640 damn woke we haven't been to the movie theater we figured out in years have you paid attention i mean

00:45:00.200 i don't even know what's happening in hollywood anymore i don't either

00:45:04.180 i don't watch any of that crap i i didn't even know the naacp awards was going to tell someone

00:45:12.400 dm me and they said they gave a chairman award to kamala harris and i dragged her on the app

00:45:16.980 wait a minute hold on you didn't know what the naacp that's it they're taking your black card

00:45:23.780 that's it you're done oh i burned it i put it on the app i burned it years ago

00:45:27.780 all right so we we brought you in we zoomed you in so you could help us i guess dissect what's

00:45:35.880 been happening to hollywood over the last decade or couple decades with the woke bs all of the

00:45:42.740 garbage film because we all miss the good old days like matt's favorite movie he said was the truman

00:45:47.160 show um mine for certain reasons i know it wasn't that amazing of a movie matt it was good morning

00:45:53.500 vietnam because it launched my career in military journalism then journalism and pearson's was

00:45:59.760 gladiator because he thinks he's a bald russell crowe i don't know anyway who are the two introducing

00:46:05.720 to the two guys sitting next to you i know you but i don't know these two guys oh you don't know

00:46:09.040 i thought you knew okay i gotta introduce you guys real quick so you know former congressman

00:46:13.200 matt gates obviously and pearson yeah now he's like oh that's matt he couldn't see yeah that's matt

00:46:20.900 that's matt bro i know i look a lot younger now it's hard to recognize i need to give him a cameo

00:46:28.860 in my movie and let him play himself let's just walk past the camera and then pearson sharps our

00:46:34.120 investigative reporter here at one america news so we threw pearson up here as well howdy um and to do

00:46:39.640 a little movie chit chat for a few we started at the beginning of the episode we gotta get isaiah's

00:46:43.120 favorite movie that's true okay favorite movie and why isaiah and you can't be in it

00:46:48.680 oh godfather oh godfather okay first one of course yeah thoughts on that godfather

00:46:56.640 it's always an acceptable way honestly there are there are at least three that you you know that

00:47:00.860 you could have chosen and and it would have been an acceptable answer yeah pearson godfather better

00:47:05.620 than uh better than gladiator no absolutely whoa not no well if it were better if it were better i

00:47:13.660 would have picked godfather but gladiator is a superior movie so isaiah what what are the what's

00:47:18.660 the over under on the number of like trump derangement syndrome meltdowns we're gonna see at the at the

00:47:24.800 academy awards yes in the speeches like yeah you pick i i think i would set the over under about like

00:47:30.820 three and a half that's all yeah only three celebrities you think i'm not gonna watch it but i

00:47:37.620 suspect that because of the the scuttlebutt with the recent finding uh a release of you know a

00:47:45.660 limited hangout so to speak from pan bondi of the um fc files i think they're gonna they're gonna

00:47:52.280 leave trump alone i don't think there's gonna be too many shots taken at trump because uh if you

00:47:57.020 remember ricky gervais at the golden globes he really embarrassed a lot of people who knew harvey

00:48:03.140 weinstein and jeffrey epstein oh okay so if they were smart i don't i don't think they would

00:48:09.720 so not even one there won't be one like like one de niro type person that'll just be like an f trump

00:48:15.740 at the end or you don't think so so he's going with zero you're going he's got three under well i

00:48:20.140 don't think how many anti-trump meltdowns you take over under three and a half yeah hold on let's get

00:48:26.040 i say it's got the under and wait this is just during the ceremony for live tv not the red carpet

00:48:30.640 correct correct because the red carpet there'll be a-holes yeah so just during the four hour

00:48:34.600 correct nauseating academy awards how many will go off on trump three sounds about right i it's

00:48:41.100 really tough right now because that that woke culture has been like they're beheading that left

00:48:46.060 and right everywhere they can and people are learning that's not acceptable anymore this is obviously a

00:48:50.780 figure of speech mr sharp is not calling for direct violence against anyone so many disclaimers on

00:48:56.620 the show just you know what happens when i come on the show yeah a lot of disclaimers say newsguard

00:49:01.540 is watching like a hawk right now this is not normal tv it's a podcast so isaiah the reason we had

00:49:08.820 pearson on is because earlier he actually was approached by the ccp by the chinese government

00:49:14.500 and asked for his views and he does this zoom call with uh the chinese embassy and everything even

00:49:20.280 including like the hot asian chick that they bring into the zoom frame and before we get out of

00:49:26.260 here we only got a few minutes left i wanted you to be able to finish the story on kind of how that

00:49:31.040 concluded the honeypot yeah yeah isaiah he got honeypotted by the chinese government they literally

00:49:37.020 emailed him and said get on a zoom this is the embassy we want to know why your reports and oan are so

00:49:42.080 negative towards our country we want to mend that fence they were trying to honeypot his ass

00:49:46.420 yeah it was fang fang go ahead anyway go ahead tell us uh yeah so i mean obviously they want to

00:49:55.000 maintain contact but they uh they had a bunch of interesting things that they said of course

00:49:58.340 none of what's happening is china's fault that's that's obvious um and uh they own most studios

00:50:04.860 what are you talking about everything about these tariffs that trump is proposing and we don't think

00:50:09.360 it's fair and we're not going to cooperate because we feel like it's you know being imposed on us and

00:50:13.580 his excuse is that it's from the fentanyl but fentanyl doesn't come from china you know we don't have

00:50:18.680 anything to do with that and what we're working with the government and we're doing everything we can to

00:50:23.160 stop that but you know it's important to point out uh mexico could get fentanyl from anywhere why does

00:50:28.720 it have to come from us we're tracking it we know where it comes from i know fentanyl doesn't come

00:50:33.200 from china cocaine doesn't come from columbia right these teeth are natural yeah yeah so when i

00:50:41.520 pointed out i was like i asked a very diplomatic question i said so what is your government doing

00:50:46.860 to to face this challenge and how are you going to um stop all these precursors that are coming from

00:50:53.300 china and then he was like oh well yes we understand that the precursors are coming from china but you

00:50:57.960 know we're doing everything we can it's like look you know first you said it wasn't then you said it

00:51:02.200 was this is just a shell game you're trying to see what what we think and if you can get influence

00:51:07.500 with us i think that was the whole point of the conversation and that was it you say i'll stay in

00:51:11.040 touch then oh yeah no i was very very diplomatic i was like one american news is honored to speak

00:51:15.720 with chinese representatives we would love to do whatever we want to help you you know

00:51:19.040 so you're pretty much sharp didn't kill himself that's all i have to say isaiah thanks brother for

00:51:26.280 for making it in we appreciate it we're almost out of time um i doubt you'll be having oscars watch

00:51:37.700 tariff on china we got hit with the wuhan virus if you look at the 10 billion dollar tariff he put
